CLOTHING. 41 



with two sets of pockets, — the upper set rather deep and 

 wide, but the lower not so deep. 



The coat should be made of corduroy, the colour of 

 fustian : dark cord and velveteen can be seen a mile away, 

 and are hot in warm weathei-. The coat should be made 

 sacque fashion, of medium length, with two sets of poc- 

 kets, a card pocket, and two inside pockets for game. 

 • The card pocket should be large enough to hold four 

 cartridges for special purposes. The sets of pockets 

 should be sufficiently deep to hold fifty or sixty cart- 

 ridges. 



The pants should be made of woollen, and good shooting- 

 pants may be got out of old winter pants, with the front 

 of each leg patched with material cut out of another old 

 pair. The patch should extend from a short distance 

 below the groins, to a short distance below the knees, and 

 should cover the front and a portion of the sides of the 

 thighs and legs, and be sewn upon the outside of the 

 pants. When finished such a pair may not appear very 

 taking to the eye, but the odds are that no material, now 

 offered for sale, can compare in durability, usefulness and 

 comfort with this home-made article. With such a pair, 

 one may confront cat-brier and blackberry bushes, day 

 in and day out, and yet have a sound skin.
